The Linsly School Competitors

Friends School of Baltimore is a coeducational, Quaker college preparatory day school serving students in grades Pre-K through 12. Guided by the values of integrity, equality, simplicity, community, stewardship and peaceful resolution of conflict, the School sets for its students high standards of excellence within a caring and inclusive environment. Friends was founded in 1784 and is at once Baltimore’s oldest and most forward-looking school. The core belief that there is “that of God” in everyone, and the School’s culture of seeking truth, of engaging with people from different backgrounds, and of serving others remain central to a Friends education.

Westminster School enjoys a reputation as one of the finest college-preparatory schools, and certainly one of the very top small boarding schools, in the country. The challenging academic program, grounded in the liberal arts tradition, prepares students in grades 9-12 and postgraduate for academic success and the rigors of college while cultivating in them a love of learning that becomes a lifelong habit. Westminster School is a diverse, close-knit community of 89 faculty and 385 students (two-thirds boarding, one-third day students) from across the country and around the world. Nearly one third of the students receive financial aid from the more than $3.2 million awarded each year.
